Sorry that I missed out on this year's pool. My entry would have probably bumped most of y'all up a spot in the rankings.

Not logically possible. If you're not on the list now, you could only push someone down the list, if added. :wink:

Lots of high scores this week although no perfect ones this time. I only missed 4 games, didn't wager much on those, and I finished in 6th.

Overall standings:

1. MarkBarrett 813 96-50

5. andrewjackson 70
6. Skippy Skipperson 68
7. The Boneheads 63
8. BiTsPiCkS 56

Vandal apparently lost the tie-breaker but I'll give him equal credit for winning the week. That means all 8 active players have won at least one week.
BiT has won the most weeks but it hasn't done him much good.

Overall standings:

1. MarkBarrett 886 105-55
2. Skippy Skipperson 860 104-56

6. The Boneheads 816 98-62
7. Vandalians 812 97-63
8. BiTsPiCkS 784 91-69

The Boneheads fall from 4th to 6th although actually in a tie for 5th with me.

It has helped my ego, some, but given I've also been last (disregarding Krox) 7 times, math is not my friend.

In fact, only one week I have not been a bookend. 3 firsts, 7 lasts, and 1 fourth.

Go big or go home, I always say.

And another "Bookend" week for me.

First Place Finishes: 4
Last Place Finishes: 8

The only time I was not first or last was Week 6 where the difference between 1st and last was only 10 points (51 to 41) with a group average of 45.5. An odd odd week.

5. LB's Evil Squirrels 69
6. Skippy Skipperson 68

The Boneheads win the week. New England getting upset cost everyone a bunch of points but all roughly the same.

Overall standings:

1. MarkBarrett 1179 139-69
2. Skippy Skipperson 1151 136-72
3. TClark45 1133 126-82

7. Vandalians 1081 126-82
8. BiTsPiCkS 1054 122-86


LB drops from 3rd into a tie for 4th. TClark and The Boneheads each move up a spot. The race for third is our most competitive with just 3 games to go. All three of those people aren't all that far out of 2nd. I need a big week to get back into that fight.

4. andrewjackson 119
4. Vandalians 119
6. Skippy Skipperson 112
7. BiTsPiCkS 110
8. The Boneheads 103

LB and Mark Barrett tie for first even though LB apparently got his picks in late and only got credit for picking 15 games.


Overall standings:

1. MarkBarrett 1311 153-71
2. LB's Evil Squirrels 1263 144-80
2. Skippy Skipperson 1263 148-76
4. TClark45 1253 138-86

6. andrewjackson 1213 141-83
7. Vandalians 1200 138-86
8. BiTsPiCkS 1164 133-91

Mark Barrett pretty much has this thing wrapped up unless he fails to make picks either of the next two weeks. LB moves back into a tie for 2nd with Skippy. TClark is only 10 points behind those two in a big fight for 2nd place overall. The Boneheads could get back into that fight with a big week. BiT, Vandal, and I are pretty much out of the money.

It would figure I'd win 14 games in a week I forgot to make picks until late Thursday night. I honestly have no idea who I'd have picked in the Thursday game either, but it did allow me to punt my 1 point pick (Not that it might have mattered since I won almost all the games).

It's interesting that in both weeks I've had the top score, Mark's tied with me. You can't make up ground that way...

They sort of have internet where I'm going but it isn't worth the trouble. My parents' farm in Indiana has dial-up so I pretend they don't have it at all. The camp where I used to live in Michigan barely has cell phone service so I just turn everything off when I stay up there.

As long as I remember to make my picks for Sunday's games I should be in good shape.  To try to catch up I suggest making the Cleveland Browns your 16-point selection. ;)
